HVAC Recommendations Please

Hi. We are replacing our boiler (hot water radiators) and installing mini splits in our three-story townhouse that is 13′ x 40′. I am looking for: 1\. Recommendations for what type of system to install. 2\. Recommendations for installers. 3\. Ballpark figure on how much this will cost. Thanks much, Patrick

if you can afford it, and have the venting capability, go for a High Efficiency boiler such as viessman, trianle tube, weil mclain ultra

HI. Sorry I wasn’t clear. We are BOTH replacing the boiler with a new boiler and installing mini splits for AC. Patrick

I’ve heard splits are only good for supplemental heat. It won’t really heat the space in the coldest days.
